Well.... Is this board for older children? Like 14 - 15.... To get around.... Cause that's what i bought it for.

Yes, my daughter is 15 And it works well for her. She is 125lbs. Hope this helps.

It actually is an excellent board for the price. It is smooth and quick. I bought for a thirteen year boy on his birthday........broke his arm using it within a week. Good luck!

This is a great board for the price. However, I would recommend that she start on a larger board. It's much easier for first-timers to learn on larger boards. My 7 and 10 year old had fun trying to get on it, but I quickly realized it was too small for a beginner,

If he is an experienced surfer, yes. It is a smaller board and it may be difficult for a beginner. My daughter is about 130 lbs and she struggles a little because she is just learning how to surf.

Have only played it with my very young granddaughters. We just went around the board. Sorry.

Yes I got for my daughter. She's 13 and loves it. Great skateboard.. For the money.

No, my 3 year old Grandson scoots around on it just fine. If fact, 8 may be a little old unless he has a small body.

This board didn't last my 13 year old 2 days. he snapped the trucks... My 18 year old has the same size board but the original brand and has had no problems. You get what you pay for I guess. My 13 year old changed the trucks and still rides it. It bends a lot in the center.

It's small but my 14-year old who is very good on the board can at least hit it at a speed that will allow a jump. It wouldn't bear an adult on a bike very well.

No, only for a kid, the board is not good quality, is like a boogie board twice thicker and short board size

Yes, it would - six is a bit young for this kind of thing. I would only recommend it if the six-year old has previous experience with skateboards and they had adult supervision while riding the sole skate.

my daughter (17) is over 100lbs and it seems to be fine for her. We were on the beach and saw other kids that look heavier. I think this board accommodates most weights. My daughter thought it was not as easy as it looks to maneuver though.

No it's actually meant for 4-7 yr olds. My son is 5 yrs old and sometimes rides along with his friend who is 6. Slightly older kids have better steering control.

Edit: My friend is 220 and he rides without a problem. This is a great board, I got it for him a year ago for his birthday and it's still in perfect shape.

Depends on how much he uses it of course but I would say it will last several years if cared for. Of course if he uses it often, he'll need a more advanced board soon! You can always resell it to another person just starting out---they are hard to find used. This is what the surf camps at our NC beach use. It's been a great board for our 50 lb 9 year old daughter.

I'm not sure about size, that is probably ok. It's a pretty standard sized deck, if size is a concern you could get a mini pr micro, but in my opinion, this is too much board for a 5year old.

You're question is perfect for "Starter Board" is what it should be called. My teenager was dismayed w/it for they could not perform the "tricks" with it they wanted to yet for a seven year old I have to say, "Yes, it is the better alternative." I hope this helps you...happy shopping!

Yes.I think it is way too big for a five-year-old. It is a big hit with my son whose average size and nine years old. But I suspect he'll be able to use the board for at least three years.
